Tadalafil and Sexual Problems that Accompany BPH/LUTS

More research is needed. The study authors weren’t certain why tadalafil improved sexual function. They also noted that the questionnaires used were only meant to assess erectile function, not other aspects of sexual function. Future studies may use different assessment tools.

Still, the results for tadalafil are encouraging.

For healthcare practitioners, it’s important to remember that not all patients will bring up sexual problems in the office visit. Yet, those problems may be affecting our patients’ lives in ways we might not necessarily see.

If you work with men who have BPH/LUTS, it’s helpful to think about all the ways their condition might affect them, including sexually.
